| 0:00.0 | Thank you. What do you do when you believe God is prompting you in one direction, but prayerful godly friends strongly disagree? |
| 0:34.6 | Is it possible for the Holy Spirit to give conflicting guidance? We'll consider these |
| 0:39.7 | questions today on Truth for Life as Alistair Begg looks at how the Apostle Paul responded |
| 0:44.7 | when he faced a similar dilemma. |
| 0:52.6 | We're going to read from the Bible in Acts chapter 21. |
| 0:55.9 | I encourage you to turn to it. |
| 0:57.8 | Acts chapter 21, beginning to read at verse 1. |
| 1:04.4 | After we had torn ourselves away from them, we put out to sea and sailed straight to Koss. |
| 1:13.4 | The next day we went to roads and from there to Patera. We found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, went on board and set sail. After citing |
| 1:22.4 | Cyprus and passing to the south of it, we sailed on to Syria. We landed at Tyre where our ship was to |
| 1:29.8 | unload its cargo. Finding the disciples there, we stayed with them seven days. Through the spirit, |
| 1:37.4 | they urged Paul not to go to Jerusalem. But when our time was up, we left and continued on our way. |
| 2:04.5 | All the disciples and their wives and children accompanied us out of the city, and there on the beach we knelt to pray. After saying goodbye to each other, we went aboard the ship, and they returned home. We continued our voyage from Tyre and landed at Ptolemy, where we greeted the brothers and stayed with them for a day. Leaving the next day, we reached Caesarea and stayed at the house of Philip |
| 2:11.3 | the Evangelist, one of the seven. He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied. After we had been there a number of days, |
| 2:20.3 | a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. Coming over to us, he took Paul's belt, |
| 2:26.2 | tied his own hands and feet with it, and said, The Holy Spirit says, in this way, the Jews of Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will |
| 2:37.2 | hand him over to the Gentiles. When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul |
| 2:44.0 | not to go up to Jerusalem. Then Paul answered, why are you weeping and breaking my heart? |
| 2:52.7 | I'm ready not only to be bound, |
| 2:59.5 | but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. When he would not be dissuaded, |
| 3:06.8 | we gave up and said, the Lord's will be done. After this, we got ready and went up to Jerusalem. |
| 3:09.8 | Some of the disciples from Caesarea accompanied us and brought us to the home of Mason where we were to stay. He was a man from Cyprus |
